Description
The Known and Unknown Sea by Alan Bilton is a haunting and comic fable that explores memory, loss, and imagination. In a small town shrouded in mist, residents receive mysterious tickets promising passage to the 'other side', sparking both excitement and suspicion. As reports of a shadowy ship circulate, the community becomes gripped with anxiety, wondering who has been selected and why. The White Star Shipping Company's enigmatic employees seem to hold the key, but their true intentions remain unclear. This surreal and immersive world is vividly detailed yet utterly ambiguous, full of masks and metamorphoses. A beautifully characterised cast of characters navigates this dreamlike landscape, where darkness is illuminated by flashes of blinding light and sudden changes of scene. With its unique blend of the bizarre and the familiar, The Known and Unknown Sea is a captivating read that will linger in your mind long after you finish the book.
